In recent issue of the The Vienna
Anthropological Society DR. NJ. Halber-
landt discusses the origin, extent and sig
nificance of tattooing. He does not be-
ieve that it was at first meant merely as
ornament. He attributes it to religious
significance, the figures described on the
skin having some reference TO the totemic
or ancestral god of the clan, and serving
as protection to the wearer. In latter
days, when this meaning had faded the
figure became mere style of personal
decoration. DR., Halberlandt draws a dis
tinction between tattooing, in which the
figures are delineated by inserting fine
pointed instrument repeatedly into the
skin, and what he calls, from an Aus
tralian word, the manka, in which pro-
cess the lines are scratched or Gu and the
coloring matter rubbed in. This distinc-
ton he maintains as important as an
chronological criterion. n.-Boston Budget.

RAeIs FOR REFORM.
Mr.. Rice thinks that this system of
1 -f.Nrf to
hut he would use il only as a basis for a
radical reform in our method, though he
does not undertake to define the modifica-
tions which he regards as necessary. He
would also adopt the plan of making the
expenses of an election a charge upon the
public. for the two chief evils of our
present system seem to him to be the
unlimited and virtually compulsory dis
bursement Of money by the candidate or
| his supporters, and the frequent failure
of the present mode of voting TO correctly
record the popular verdict. y The English
and Australian plan Of ball0ting he finds
| prevents bribery and corruption, and the
| assumption by the state of the expenses
| of elections would help to purify our poll
| tics by taking away from money its power
| in elections.
| OF course, if elections were conducted
at the cost of the government some restric-
| tions would need to be imposed to prevent
| mems placing their names on the list OF
| candidates from mere love of notoriety.
In Australia every candidate is required
to deposit fixed sum before his name is
entered, and if he fails to poll more than d
certain proportion of the votes obtained
by that one Of the successful candidates
who receives the smallest number Of
votes, the deposit is forfeited to the state.
In England it has been proposed TO make
any candidate responsible for his own ex.
pensesswho fails to poll one-eighth of the
constituency at least Another PROPOSE
tion is to require large list of indorsinQ
voters, and thus indirectly to ''abolist
the corruptions of primary politics, y fol
the candidate would be put up by tht
people rather than by caucus or nomi
mating convention New York Sun.

THE ENGLISH SYSTEM.
METHODS OF VOTING ADOPTED IN
ENGLAND AND AUSTRALIA.

How Candidates for Parliament are
Nominatcd-Forn of Ballot Paper Used
Mt the Polling Stations-Regulations.
Cost of an Election.
In a recent number of his magazine,
The North American Review. Mr.. Thorn
dixie Rice describes the present system of
halloting in England, and contends that
with suitable notifications il should be
adopted in this country, for he regards
our methods of voting as corrupt and de-
grading.
The English system was established by
what is generally known as the ballot
act of 1872 and is based on the methods
which have been used in the Australian
colonies for quarter of century and
more. In the first place candidates for
parliament are nominated in writing by
two registered electors OF the county or
borough and with the written assent of
eight other electors. This nomination
paper' must be delivered to the returning
officer by the candidate or his proposer or
seconder in person, and that official is re
quired to publish the names OF candidates.
The "hallot paper" consists of paper
containing the names and descriptions OF
the candidates. and on the back OF each
ballot is printed number, which is also
printed on the face Of a counterfoil at
tached to it.
At the time of voting the ballot paper
must he marked on both sides with al
official mark, and delivered within the
polling station TO the voter, whose mum
bcr on the register OF voters is required tC
be marked on the counterfeit To make
this description clearer Mr.. Rice gives
this as a specimen of a ballot paper:
